We invite applications for the position at the Sørensen Laboratory, Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher for studies of synaptic transmission and neurotransmitter release for a 2-year position to start at January 1st 2024 or after agreement.

Background

We seek an excellent postdoc with a high potential for original research. The project focuses on the molecular basis for neurodevelopmental disease caused by mutation in the synaptic release machinery (see Verhage and Sørensen, 2020, Neuron 107(1):22-37). This will be done using a combination of genetic tools (mouse knockins and expression vectors), advanced microscopy, and electrophysiology in central neurons and adrenal chromaffin cells. We aim at identifying the molecular basis for epilepsy caused by these diseases.
